A pair of big upsets knocked the FCIAC boys basketball standings for a loop last Friday, as two top contenders suffered their first losses of the winter.

St. Joseph (6-1 overall, 4-1 FCIAC) suffered its first defeat the season when they were defeated by the Wilton Warriors, 67-46, at WHS. The win was the third straight for the Warriors, who are 3-3 overall and 1-3 in the conference.
